Summerdown Camp was established to rehabilitate soldiers wounded in the first world war to restore their fitness so they could return to active service. A variety of activities and therapies was available for the men to aid their recovery. Many Eastbourne residents became involved in the work of the camp, both on a paid and voluntary basis. In return the residents of the camp provided entertainment for the town through their Knuts Kamp Komedy Kompany This illustrated talk by local historian and U3A member Ann Bridgewood will look at the history of the camp, and the interaction between the "Blue Boys" and the town.

While sorting through some material in the ELHS archive, Warwick came across a book that has inspired him to put together this illustrated talk on the "Early Days of Motoring".
